160. Intersection of Two Linked Lists(python)

时间:2021-02-13 16:20:40

Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.
For example, the following two linked lists:
A: a1 → a2

c1 → c2 → c3

B: b1 → b2 → b3
begin to intersect at node c1.
Notes:
If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return null.
The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
You may assume there are no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure.
Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory.
总结:关键点在于两链表的长度m、n(m>=n),长链表比短链表多走m-n步,这样两链表长度对应后,逐一比较就可以

总结:无相同值时,返回空为None
